I had the same problem with zipl - took me days (and help from this list) to get it to work by removing zipl.conf and passing all parms via command line.

I've installed redhat 7.2 GA several times now and I''ve run into these errors. Are others seeing the same...or am I doing some of this stuff wrong?? 1. At the end of "rhsetup" the zipl command fails because the image filename is spelled wrong in the script. I have to create a parmfile in /boot in the new system and then rerun zipl on my own. Seems like I have to rename /etc/zipl.conf too...to get it out of the way before running zipl?? 2. The "instoco" OCO script that you're supposed to run after 'rhsetup' is supposed to copy the "lcs.o" file to the appropriate directories on the newly built system... But the ones it copies are bad (maybe this is because I built the ramdisk OCO with an older/bad tar file???) and I'm forced to download the OCO tar file to the newly built system and run the tar extract on my own. Then I have to copy the lcs.o mod from /lib/modules/ibm into /lib/modules/2.4.9-17tape/kernel/drivers/s390/net/lcs.o NOTE: the "bad" lcs.o is size 39,nnn and the good one is larger than 41nnn bytes. 3. I must remove two lines from /etc/modules.conf and leave only eth0 lcs ....feedback from others?? Thanks, Dave
